About Copyright

You must be the creator or legal copyright holder. The copyright of a painting remains with the artist even after the original work has been sold. The only exception to this is when the artist signs a written agreement to sell the copyright.

Paintings by deceased artists - in the UK, an artist's copyright ends once a period of 70 years have elapsed following the year in which the artist died. Reproduction is then permitted with the exception of works that were not published at the time of the artist's death.
